I have gotten feedback from others that there are challenges registering at BetterME and filling out the Citizen Report Card on-line. The comments below should help. There is also a short video that describes the process.
The way the process should work:
- Go to main page and click on “new registration”. When filling out the registration you will need to figure out a login name (I suggest first name and last initial). Also note that phone number is optional. What is really needed is a valid email address.
- When complete, you will be sent an email which will come from BetterME. In this email will be a link to activate your account. Click on this email link.
- After your account is activated you can go back to the website, log in and click on new test.
- When filling out your test, if you don’t know your BMI, there is a tab at the end that will take you to a table to help you calculate, just find the number where your height and weight meet.
- After you take your test, go to your “profile“, click “edit” under actions, and then “Groups Data“. Once there look for your group (only if joining a group, and you know who you are : ) If you don’t see it, use the search function at the top of the list. Once you find your group, click on the add button for your group. This allows me to share summary data for your group. Be assured that no one can see you individual responses.
If you have problems, please write a comment below. This will be the best way to make improvements in our process.
